Yeah, I can remember reading that article, and probably have a reprint of it here somewhere. That article had a major effect on me, resulting in my buying a new 1969 Sunfire Yellow SuperBee almost 55 years ago ( February 10, 1969). Thanks.

The one that occasionally keeps me awake at night is the one-owner 1967 440, 4-speed GTX with stuck motor for $250.00. About 1978, when nobody wanted these old gas guzzlers. The seller, who I worked with, backed out of the deal because his wife's brother wanted it. Then I had to watch it degrade over the next 10 years until it was a parts car. Sad!

I still occasionally pine for the $500 1967 Hemi Satellite they said they didn't build, and then later admitted to.

I have a couple of 1967 magazine drive tests ( I think Motor Trend and Car Craft ) of a Hemi Coronet 500. The car was white with a black vinyl top. Since these car magazines were based in California, I think this car was likely assembled at the Los Angeles plant. This is another car that should never have been built, since the Hemi was supposedly only available in R/T and Charger in 1967.
My Canadian 1967 Coronet sales brochure shows a bronze with black vinyl top Coronet 500 with 426 Hemi sign in the front fender. This car is obviously an air brushed version of the same one in the U.S. brochure that shows it with normal 383 Four Barrel sign. It is weird that Chrysler Canada would go to this trouble to show a car that could not be ordered in their sales brochure.
This white Hemi Coronet 500 has never re-emerged in the collector hobby. I wonder if this press fleet car was recalled and destroyed. It would be nice think it is still out there, tucked away in a garage, waiting to be uncovered. Discovering the fate of this Unicorn could be a nice project for some California-based Mopar sleuth. This would be way rarer than the 426 Street Wedge '66 Coronet that has recently popped up.

The Chrysler Corporation didn't make any 426 Hemi powered vehicles in Los Angeles.

But they do have dancing sandwiches, I like them!

I think the B.J.'s would be more interesting!
